Eleonora Taranova

Eleonora Taranova was born in 1971, in Ukraine. Fleeing the war, she appeared in Denmark where she is based now.

As a child, Eleonora lived in a house with animals and observed their behavior. She learned to portray the emotions and movements of pets on her own since there was no art school in the town.

After working as a teacher at a higher school for over 20 years, she quit her job for health reasons and took up painting as a hobby. Now she works as a full-time artist. As the main topic of her art, she has chosen animals for the last 15 years.

Inspired by the rock carvings' coloristic and the works of Rembrandt, Francis Bacon, Mikhail Vrubel, Franz Mark, Eleonora tries to bring the idea of ​​empathy and respect to a living being.
